With temperatures reaching the 80s, that makes perfect beach conditions. But, if you&#8217;re normally spending your winter in cold temperatures, the sudden change may do more damage to your skin that you&#8217;d want to know. Always reapply when you\u2019re at the beach to avoid coming back to school with awkward burns or uneven tans.<\/p>\n<h1>Plan Your Trip Right<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97220127\" src=\"http:\/\/coawp-admin.fareportal.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plan-spring-break-travel.jpg\" alt=\"Plan spring break travel\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plan-spring-break-travel.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plan-spring-break-travel-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plan-spring-break-travel-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The timeline for spring break varies depending on the university. The majority of spring breakers arrive sometime between March and early April. Those looking for a party may consider arriving for special events, like the Winter Music Conference in Miami. This is a popular electronic dance music event where the city streets and beach shorelines turn into clubs- day and night! If this isn\u2019t really your scene, avoid South Beach and downtown Miami and head north towards the beaches in Hollywood or Aventura for some rest and relaxation away from the spring break-palooza.<\/p>\n<h1>Travel in a Group<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97220126\" src=\"http:\/\/coawp-admin.fareportal.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/spring-break-travel-with-friends.jpg\" alt=\"spring break travel with friends\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/spring-break-travel-with-friends.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/spring-break-travel-with-friends-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/spring-break-travel-with-friends-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More than likely, if you\u2019re visiting Miami for spring break, you\u2019ll be traveling with fellow friends that want in on the fun. Traveling together is the best way to enjoy Miami during this high season where prices may increase and availability is tough. Consider renting suites or asking hotels if their rooms allow more guests in a room. This will decrease your room rate per night since you\u2019re splitting it with more people. Travel in groups to the beach not only because it\u2019s more fun that way, but to make sure your stuff doesn\u2019t get stolen since the beaches will be packed!<\/p>\n<h1>Enjoy or Avoid Ocean Drive<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97220128\" src=\"http:\/\/coawp-admin.fareportal.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Ocean-drive-miami-florida.jpg\" alt=\"Ocean drive, miami, florida\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Ocean-drive-miami-florida.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Ocean-drive-miami-florida-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Ocean-drive-miami-florida-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ocean Drive is one of the highlights when visiting South Beach. Since its right by the beachfront, it\u2019s filled with restaurants, bars and clubs for spring breakers to enjoy. Famous places include Mango&#8217;s Tropical, CJs Crab Shack &amp; The Clevelander. You&#8217;ll see beach babes and bums sipping on large margarita bowls with two Coronas, which often spells spring break trouble. Visit Ocean Drive during the early morning to enjoy the architecture, old Cuban cars and vintage hotels if you want to avoid the spring break crowds.<\/p>\n<h1>Crowds<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97220129\" src=\"http:\/\/coawp-admin.fareportal.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/crowded-beach.jpg\" alt=\"crowded beach\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/crowded-beach.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/crowded-beach-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/crowded-beach-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Love it or Hate it: Let\u2019s face it- Miami is one of the spring capitals of America. There is nice weather, plenty of hotels and venues and a pulsating nightlife with no end. But the best part are the white sand and turquoise water beaches. Don\u2019t be surprised if you arrive around noon and find it difficult to grab a spot by the water. The upside is you\u2019ll definitely meet lots of fun and friendly faces who you\u2019ll enjoy sharing the beach time with. If you\u2019re a beach snob and you take your power bronzing seriously, the earlier, the better- after all, most will be nursing hangovers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring break is that special time of the year that everybody loves or hates.
